You can make a tangible impact on the ocean.

This year, all funds raised will support Ocean Legacy, a Vancouver-based organization dedicated to removing and recycling ocean waste, not only in Canada, but globally. The funds will focus on large-scale cleanups along British Columbia’s coast. For every $4 donated, 1 lb of waste will be permanently removed from the Pacific Ocean and processed for recycling at the Ocean Legacy facility in Richmond, BC.

Ocean Legacy's goal is to end plastic pollution. They use an integrated approach called EPIC, which combines Education, Policy, Infrastructure Development, and Cleanup to create technologies, education, and skills training to convert plastic pollution into economic value while collaboratively building adaptable tools with local communities to prevent and clean plastic pollution. Part of this process includes sorting the materials collected, and where possible, reintroducing recovered materials into the circular economy.
